Brazil Legend Pele On The World Cup And His Favorite Goals

With the World Cup now in full flow, we thought we’d get some tournament predictions from an expert in the field, and who better than arguably the greatest player of all-time, Pele?

We caught up with the global icon in Brazil, where a movie called Pelé (naturally) was being made of his early life, and he explained that if God gave him the power to decide who would win the tournament, he’d rather predictably pick his home nation.

The great man also tipped Germany and Spain for success thanks to their well-organised teams, and Italy due to their big tournament experience. But he added that the best team doesn’t always win, citing Brazil’s failure in 1982 as a prime example. And I think we all know how that worked out for Spain...

Watch the video above to find out what the great man had to say and just which goals that he scored (out of all 1,281 of them) Pele picked as his favourites of all time.

Pelé the movie is produced by Imagine Entertainment and Seine Pictures.
